Emilie is slowly returning from maternity leave. I got in touch with her Tuesday, and made an appointment for last night, slightly later than my previous usual (because she has to wait for her husband to get home from work and take the baby), which turned out to be her first session with a client since before she had the baby. It was a good session, though with several brief interruptions for people, mostly her coworkers, to say hi and ask how she and the baby were doing.
It was nice having someone to check on my positioning and such. I'd been getting off-center when doing my hamstring bridge thing, in that I'd start with the roller straight across and my feet equally far from my torso, and it would gradually slide sideways. Emilie told me a way to avoid that (focus on bringing my legs toward me at the same rate, rather than think in terms of not slanting things). She also got me paying attention again to things like the position of my shoulders while doing lat pulldowns.
